The real kicker: These current events become more normalized with each mentioning too. What sounds, looks or feels absurd initially becomes more and more indoctrinated into our collective passivity, and thusly starts to feel like "it's always been this way". Of course I think I've shared my love of Orwell, and his literary influences (one on which we connected), but I need to revisit some of Huxley's work. Oh brave n
Also, I've been reading Utopia by Thomas More (1516?), and very insightful to me (you might enjoy it with a good translation, unless you read latin :p). It keeps coming back to this idea: when basic human needs like shelter and land are converted into private assets for individual profit, income inequality and social fracture are the inevitable result.

Yes ugh, sometimes you have to forget about these things or it makes you feel dread. You mean to say you read Latin? wow :)
Ego non loqui Latina, or...uh Non hablo Latinum >_<
